The difficulty was in selecting which of the many thorns to choose from, including goathead thorns from my tires. But for wicked beauty, I chose this one.
This very sad little cactus partially buried in the snow had a pretty cool looking texture up close. Oddly enough, several of my neighbors (in Silver Spring MD) have these little cacti growing in their front yards.

The Path of Thorns and Roses is a sculpture that spirals upwards and includes six allegorical figures. One of the figures is Hope, a man with a bald head standing on his toes within a large circle of thorns. He holds an unbloomed rose in his hands.
The sculpture is at the Contraband and Freedmen Cemetery Memorial in Alexandria.
Not an entry because it found me yesterday. I must have picked up this little guy somewhere along my ride yesterday because I found it embedded in my rear tire this morning.
